Real Estate Commission Plans – 100% Commission & No Monthly Fee Options

What Commission Plans Does VIP Realty Offer?

VIP Realty offers two primary residential real estate commission plans for eligible agents in Texas and California:

Gold Plan: An 80/20 commission split with $0 monthly brokerage subscription fees, an $8,000 annual brokerage commission cap, and a $100 transaction fee after reaching the cap.

Platinum Plan: A 100% commission structure with a $99 monthly subscription, a $250 fee per residential sale, a $75 fee per lease, and a $50 E&O fee per sale.

Both plans provide access to brokerage resources, technology, training, and potential company-generated lead opportunities, subject to current program requirements.

Choosing the right plan depends on your production volume, expected commissions, business expenses, and personal preferences.

Gold Plan – 80/20 Commission With No Monthly Brokerage Fees

$0 Monthly Brokerage Subscription. $0 Setup Fees. $8,000 Annual Commission Cap.

The VIP Realty Gold Plan is designed for agents who want to minimize recurring brokerage expenses while benefiting from professional technology, training, and support.

Gold Plan Features

• $0 monthly brokerage subscription fees
• $0 brokerage setup fees
• 80/20 commission split
• $8,000 annual brokerage commission cap
• $100 transaction fee after reaching the cap
• Professional agent website and CRM resources
• Ongoing agent training and broker support
• Digital marketing education
• Potential company-generated lead opportunities

How Does the Gold Commission Cap Work?

Under the Gold Plan, VIP Realty retains 20% of the agent's qualifying commission until the brokerage has received $8,000 toward the annual commission cap.

Once the cap is reached, the agent retains 100% of qualifying commissions before applicable transaction and other fees. The post-cap transaction fee is $100.

For example, an agent generating $40,000 in qualifying gross commission income at an 80/20 split would contribute $8,000 toward the brokerage commission cap.

After reaching the cap, subsequent qualifying transactions are subject to the applicable post-cap fee rather than the standard 20% brokerage split.

Cap calculations, reset dates, qualifying commissions, and other fees are governed by the applicable independent contractor agreement.

Who Is the Gold Plan Best For?

The Gold Plan may be an attractive option for newly licensed agents, part-time agents, agents with inconsistent transaction volume, and professionals who prefer to avoid fixed monthly brokerage subscription expenses.

Platinum Plan – 100% Real Estate Commission

100% Commission Before Applicable Fees. $99 Monthly Subscription. $250 Per Residential Sale.

Our Platinum Plan is designed for agents who prefer to retain 100% of their qualifying commissions before applicable brokerage charges rather than paying a traditional percentage-based commission split.

Platinum Plan Features

• 100% commission before applicable fees
• $99 monthly brokerage subscription
• $250 per residential sale
• $100 per residential lease
• $50 E&O fee per sale
• Professional agent website and CRM resources
• Digital marketing and lead-generation education
• Ongoing training and brokerage support
• Potential company-generated lead opportunities

How Does a 100% Commission Brokerage Work?

At a traditional real estate brokerage, agents may pay a percentage of each commission to the brokerage. Under VIP Realty's Platinum Plan, agents retain 100% of qualifying commissions before applicable monthly, transaction, E&O, and other charges.

For example, on a residential sale generating $10,000 in gross commission income, the standard Platinum sale transaction fee is $250, plus the applicable $50 E&O fee.

That leaves $9,700 before the monthly subscription, any other applicable expenses, and taxes.

The Platinum Plan may be especially attractive for experienced agents, active producers, and professionals who prefer a transaction-based brokerage compensation model.

Compare the key features of our two brokerage commission plans to determine which structure may best fit your real estate business.

Plan terms and applicable charges are subject to the current independent contractor agreement. Company-generated leads may be subject to separate commission splits.

Real Estate Commission Split Example: How Much Could You Keep?

Let's compare the standard brokerage charges on a residential sale that generates $10,000 in gross commission income.

Gold Plan Example

• Gross commission income: $10,000
• Agent's 80% share before cap: $8,000
• Brokerage's 20% share: $2,000
• Monthly brokerage subscription: $0

Illustrative agent commission: $8,000 before other applicable fees and taxes.

Platinum Plan Example

• Gross commission income: $10,000
• Standard residential sale fee: $250
• Standard E&O fee: $50
• Monthly brokerage subscription: $99

Illustrative agent commission: $9,700 before the monthly subscription, other applicable fees, and taxes.

These examples assume an agent-generated residential sale, exclude company-provided lead splits, and do not represent a full annual cost comparison.

Agents should evaluate their expected annual production, brokerage charges, transaction volume, and other business expenses before choosing a plan.

More Than a Commission Split – The VIP Realty Advantage

Many real estate brokerages compete primarily on commission splits and transaction fees.

At VIP Realty, we believe agents should evaluate what their brokerage provides in return for those expenses.

Our brokerage combines competitive commission plans with digital marketing resources, technology, ongoing training, and professional support.

In-House Digital Marketing

VIP Realty invests in digital marketing initiatives designed to attract real estate buyers and sellers throughout our service areas.

Our marketing initiatives include Google Ads, search engine optimization, Facebook and Instagram advertising, real estate websites, landing pages, and video marketing.

Agents also have opportunities to learn how to develop and manage their own digital marketing campaigns.

Professional Real Estate Agent Websites

Eligible VIP Realty agents have access to professional real estate website resources powered by Real Estate Webmasters.

Available capabilities include IDX property searches, lead capture, CRM integration, and tools to help agents build their online presence.

CRM & Lead Follow-Up

Our CRM resources help agents organize contacts, manage inquiries, monitor activity, and maintain communication with potential clients.

Effective follow-up can help agents make better use of both company-generated and personally generated leads.

Ongoing Real Estate Training

VIP Realty provides live training opportunities and educational resources covering contracts, transaction management, marketing, lead generation, buyer representation, listing presentations, and business development.

Broker Support & Transaction Compliance

Agents receive access to brokerage support resources and transaction management procedures designed to promote professional service and compliance with applicable real estate requirements.

Does VIP Realty Provide Real Estate Leads?

Yes. VIP Realty generates buyer and seller inquiries through company marketing initiatives.

However, company-generated leads are not distributed automatically to every agent. Lead assignments depend on factors such as training, production, responsiveness, geographic coverage, and business needs.

Company-provided leads are subject to separate commission arrangements under the applicable brokerage agreement.

Our goal is to provide qualified agents with opportunities while teaching every agent how to develop their own lead-generation strategies.

We don't want agents to depend entirely on brokerage leads. We want agents to build businesses capable of generating their own opportunities.

Additional Brokerage Fees & Transaction Policies

Transparency matters when comparing real estate brokerage commission plans. In addition to the standard Gold and Platinum terms, certain transactions or services may involve additional charges.

Incoming Referral Commissions

A $75 brokerage fee applies to incoming referral commissions under the currently published fee schedule. Referral fees do not count toward the annual commission cap.

Higher-Priced Residential Transactions

For residential sales with a final price exceeding $2 million, additional E&O charges may apply. The currently published schedule specifies $25 for each $100,000 price increment above $2 million.

Broker Price Opinions

A $10 brokerage fee applies to broker price opinions under the published fee schedule.

Commercial Real Estate Transactions

Commercial sales and leases are generally subject to a separate 90/10 commission arrangement, with a minimum brokerage share of $500 under the published fee schedule. Commercial activity requires brokerage approval and compliance with applicable policies.

Intermediary & Risk Management Fees

Additional risk management or intermediary fees may apply to transactions involving both sides of a transaction, subject to applicable law, brokerage policy, and the agent's agreement.

Agent-Owned Property Transactions

Additional risk management fees and representation restrictions may apply when agents buy or sell property in which they have a personal financial interest.

Important: Agents should review the current independent contractor agreement and complete brokerage fee schedule for all applicable charges, transaction requirements, and commission policies.
